THE CORONATION Mr. ThoinpSon, in his work on The ,Procession and Ceremonies obserired in the Coronation 'of the Kings and Queens of England,' gives' the folloWing account of KING EDWARD'S CHAIR. , • " This chair (commonly called St. Edward's chair) is an ancient seat of solid, hard wood, with back and sides of the same, variously painted, in which the kings of Scotland were in former periods constantly crowned ; but, having been brought out of the kingdom by King Edward 1., in the year 12 96, after he had totally overcome John Baliol king of Scots, it has ever since remained in the abbey of Westminster, and has been the royal chair in which the succeeding kings and queens of this realm have been inaugurated. It is in height 6 ft. 7 in., in breadth at the bot tom, 38 in., and in depth 24 in. ; from the seat to the bottom is 25 in. ; the breadth of the seat within the sides is 28 in., and the depth ].B in. At 9 inches from the ground is a board, supported at the four corners by as many lions. Between the seat and this board is enclosed a stone, commonly called Jacob's, or the Fatal Marble Stone, which is an oblong, of about 22 in. in length, 13 in. broad, and 11 in. deep ; of a steel colour, mixed with some veins of red. History relates that it is the stone whereon the • patriarch Jacob laid his head in the plain of Luz. It is also added that it was brought to Brigantia, in the king dom of Gallicia in Spain, in which place Gathol king of Scots, sat on it as his throne. Thence. it was conveyed into Ireland by Simon Brach, who was king of Scots, about 790 years before Christ's time ; from thence into Scotland by king Fergus, about 370 years after wards ; and, in the year 850, it was placed in the abbey of Scone, in the sheriffdom of Perth, by King Kenneth, who caused it to be en closed in this wooden chair, and . a phophetical verse to be engraved, of which the following is a trans lation : ' Should fate not fail, where'er this stone is found The Scots shall monarch of that realm be crown'd.' "This is the mare remarkable by its having been fulfilled in the per son of Ring James 1., grandfather to the Princess Sophia, electress dowager of Hanover, grandmother to King George 11., who was grandfather to his late Majesty, George 111. This antique regal ch.*. _having_ (together will _the golden sceptre and crown of Scot land) been solemnly offered by King Edward I. to St. Edward the Confessor, in the year 1297 (from whence it derives the appel lation of St. Edward's chair), has ever since been kept in the chapel called by his name ; with a tablet affixed to it, whereon several Latin verses are written, in the old Eng lish character. The ornaments of this chair consist of crock 9 ets and fret-work, richly gilt. It has a cushion, covered with the same ma terials. The stone maintains its usual place under the seat of the chair, but is hid from observation by the fringe which surrounds it." THE REGALIA. These are—St. Edward's Staff— the Spurs—the Sceptre with the Cross—the Pointed Sword of Tem poral Justice—the Sword of Mercy —the Sword of State—the Sceptre with the Dove—the Orb—St. Ed ward'sCrown—thePatina,theCha- lice, and the Bible. St. Edward' Staff, in length four feet eleven inches and a half, is a sceptre of gold, having a foot of steel about four inches and a quar ter in length, with a mound and cross at the top ; the ornaments are also of gold, and the diameter is up wards of three-quarters of an inch. The Spurs, called thegreat gold en Spurs, are elaborately wrought; they have no rowels, but end in an ornamented point. The Sceptre with the Cross,. or Sceptre Royal, is likewise of gold, the handle plain, and the upper part wreathed ;it is in length twofeetnine inches 'and a quarter, and is of the same thickness as the former. The point at the lower part is enriched with rubies, emeralds, and small diamonds ; and the space of five inches and a half in length, above the handle, is elegantly embellished with similar precious stones. The top rises into a fleur-de-lis, with six leaves, of which three are upright, and the other three are hanging down, all enriched with precious stones ; out of the fleur-de-lis issues a mound made of an amethyst, set round with table-diamonds, and upon the mound a cross, wholly covered with precious stones, and a large table-diamond in the centre. The Sword of Justice of the Tem porality, or Third Sword, is sharp pointed; the length of the handle is four inches, the pommel an inch and three-quarters, and the cross seven inches and a half ; the scab- ~,..,•*'i s - -"- THE CORONATION DAY. All hail, Queen Victoria ! all hail to this day, So teeming with promise—we welcome it here ! As the bright stream of glory pursues its glad way, And the blessing of thousands ascends in that cheer ! But if thousands on thousands are happy before thee, Saluting thy favours and catching thy smiles ; Oh ! think of the millions of hearts that adore thee— For this day is a JUBILEE over the isles ! Not alone o'er the isles—but Hindostan afar Doth our jubilee spread—in the West, the poor slave, As he prays for thy mercy, " fair Liberty's star ! " Be the Queen of the FREE, as the Queen of the brave." Let the African joy, for his freedom is nigh ; Our Queen would not reign but o'er happy and free : Let that thunder attest it—yon banner on high— The banner of Glory o'er land and o'er sea ! Bear witness, ye Nations !, the homage we MY , The pride that we feel, and the love we declare ; Fur the Queen of our hearts is, on this happy day, Not alone of the brave —but THE Queen of the fair Nor can chivalry boast, in the rolls of renown, A scene such as THlS—for old Time stands apart, While the Crown of her PEOPLE VICTORIA puts on, All radiant with beauty—and pure as her heart ! Then fill up a bumper to honour THE QUEEN ! Our bands and our hearts in devotion we give ; And our children, while weeping with joy o'er the scene, Shall pray GOD bless VICTORIA ! and long may she live. ~ .~ , r ~-.~, .:'~ s - --- - - --- - - ---- ____ - -- --- --- ---- ------ - - said Sir Robert Peel, " a confid en t ex p ec t a ti on th rone, a generous patron of the theatres and the Y, SKETCH OF HER MAJESTY. that she was destined to a reign of happiness fine arts, and has already done much to restore for her people and of glory to herself."

Curtoma, or the Pointless Sword, representing the Swoyd of Mercy, is th e principal in dignity of three swords which are borne naked before the kings at the coronation. It is a broad bright sword, of which the length of the blade is thirty-two inches, the breadth almost two inches, the handle, which is covered with fine gold wire, is four inches long, and the pommel an inch and three-quarters, which, with the cross, is plain steel gilt ; '. the length of the cross is almost eight inches. The scabbard belonging to it is co vered with a rich brgcaded cloth of tissue, with gilt ornaments. The sword of state, ,which is a large two-handed sword, having a splendid scabbard of crimson velvet decorated with gold plates of the royal badges, in order as follow : Up at the point is the orb ormound, then the royal crest of a lion stand ing on an imperial crown ; lower down are a portcullis, harp, thistle, fleur-41e-lis s -alld rose; near - the hilt is the portcullis repeated; next are the royal arms and supporters ; and, lastly, the harp, 'thistle, &c., occur over again. The other side of the scabbard is exactly the same. The handle and pom 111 elofth, sword are embossed with similar devices in silver gilt; and the cross is form ed of the royal supporters, the lion and unicorn, having a rose within a laurel between them on one side, and a fleur-de-lis, encircled in the same manner, on the other. The king's sceptre with the dove is a sceptre of gold, in length three feet seven inches, three inches in circumference at the handle, and two inches and a quarter round the top. The pommel is decorated with a circle or fillet of table-diamonds, and in several places with precious stones of all sorts, and the mound at the top .is embellished with a band or fillet of rose-diamonds. Upon the mount is a small Jerusa lem cross, wherein is fixed a dove withwirigsex panded, a stile emblem of mercy. The orb, mound, or globe, is a ball of gold of six inches diameter, encompassed with a band of the same, embellished with roses of diamonds encircling other precious stones, and edged aboutwith pearl. On the top is a very large ame thyst, of a violet or purple colour, near an inch and a half in height, of an oval form, and which, being, _Lacom_pagawitlifoursiker_wirAg, becomes the pedestal of a splendid cross of gold of three inches and a quarter in height and three inches in breadth, set very close with dia monds, having, in the middle, a sapphire on one side, and an eme rald on the other. It is also embel lished with four large pearls in the angles of the cross, near the centre, and three more at the ends of it. The whole height of the orb and cross is eleven inches. The first and principal diadem, denominated St. Edward's Crown, with which his Majesty is invested, is so called in commemoration of the ancient one, which was kept in Westminster Abbey till the begin ning of the great rebellion, when, with the rest of the regalia, it was sacrilegiously carried away. It is a very rich imperial crown, embel lished with pearls and precious stones of various kinds, as dia monds, rubies, emeralds, and sap phires, with a mound of gold on the top of it, encircled with a band of the same, embellished also with precious stones ; and upon the . mound a cross o f go ld d ecorate d i n a similar manner, h6,vingthree very large oval pearls, one at the top of the cross, and two others pendant at the sides of it. This crown is composed, as all those of England are, of four crosses and as many fleur-de-lis upon a rim or circle of gojd, all embellished with precious stones, from the tops of which crosses arise four circular bars or arches, which meet at the top, and at the intersection is the pedestal whereon is fixed the mound. The cap within the crown is of purple velvet lined with white taffeta and turned up with ermine, thickly powdered in three rows. TIIE AMPULLA AND ANOINTING ,SPOON. The ampulla, which contains the holy oil, is in the form of an eagle, with the wings expanded, standing on a pedestal, all of pure gold, finely chased. The head unscrews at the middle of the neck for the convenience of putting in the oil, and, the vessel being entirely hol low, it is poured out into the spoon through the point of the beak. The weight of the whole is nearly eight or ten ounces, and the cavity of the body is capable of containing about six ounces. The anointing spoon is likewise of pure gold, with four pearls set in the broadest part of handle ; the bowl of the spoon is finely chased both within and with out, and, by its extreme thinness, appears to be very ancient.
